Parents will appreciate her efforts to explore the world with a kid in tow and marvel at her expat life in a villa where a python on the stairs, a scorpion in the outdoor shower, and Hindu offerings ceremonially placed next to the infinity pool and Wi-Fi router are daily realities.Told with intelligence, humor, spirit, and Weinstein's version of practicality, Jalan-Jalan will inspire you to find your path and take the trip of a lifetime.

Was würden Sie tun, wenn aus dem Handgepäck Ihres Sitznachbarn im Flugzeug ein Krokodil klettert? Ruhig bleiben und Fisch reichen - oder schreiend davonrennen? Wenn Sie sich für die Flucht nach vorn entschieden haben, kann das ins Auge gehen, zumal in einem Flugzeug. Und ja, das ist eine wahre Geschichte. Der Autor hat in diesem Buch touristische Todesfälle zusammengetragen, von denen es erschreckend viele gibt. Reisen ist eben ein großes Abenteuer - und birgt damit ein gewisses Risiko. Im Urlaub sind wir bereit, waghalsig Schluchten zu erklimmen und dubioses Streetfood zu naschen. Wir machen Selfies auf hohen Klippen und hüpfen in unbekannte Gewässer. Schon Tolkien schrieb: "Nicht alle, die wandern, sind verloren." Nein, nicht alle. Aber manche eben doch.
